Hinchinbrook Island 6 Day Sea Kayak Expedition
Tour
About
Wow ! Is often people’s reaction to this journey, one of the best multi day sea kayaking trips in the world. Imagine an island paradise lying off the North Queensland coast where towering mountains give way to pristine rainforest fringed by white, sandy beaches and warm, azure waters. On this island your footprints will be the only prints on the beach. Hinchinbrook Island is Australia’s largest island national park, and is wedged between lush World Heritage rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef.
On this 6 day trip we paddle over 100km (2-5 hours per day) from Lucinda up the east coast of Hinchinbrook Island then Island hop our way back to Mission Beach. Each night we camp on remote, secluded beaches. The trip includes experienced & passionate sea kayak guides, gourmet expedition catering, snorkelling coral reefs and swimming in some of the best waterholes in North Queensland. Side trips include short hikes to sites along the famous Thorsborne Trail and beach combing in spots that are only accessible by sea kayak. Marine life encounters can include whales, dolphins, turtles, dugongs and coral reefs that fringe our Island Camp sites.

Cassowary Coast 3 Day Sea Kayak Journey
Imagine a deserted, tropical island paradise just a short paddle off the Cassowary Coast. Idyllic white sandy beaches, coral reefs, warm waters, great cuisine and good company. Welcome to our 3 day expedition. Depending on weather conditions and group dynamics we have two exciting destinations on offer; the Family Island Group or the Barnard Island Group. Both island groups are national park islands within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and both are amazing places to explore by kayak. Situated just off the coast of Mission Beach, these tropical islands are surrounded by pristine beaches and the clear blue waters of the Coral Sea. Fringing reefs offer the opportunity to see an array of colourful tropical fish and corals. We also keep our eyes peeled for nesting sea birds, turtles, dugongs, dolphins. From mid July until late September we look out for the chance to kayak with the majestic humpback whales which visit these waters. The day’s activities consist of approximately 3-4 hours of sea kayaking through the islands, allowing plenty of time to explore the rainforest and check out the coral reefs, or just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of such a stunning, remote environment.
